Chapter Index

    Victoria Park was as quiet as ever.

    Even after passing the entrance, Iris Guild was not visible, and the cold atmosphere continued.

    ‘… It’s really strange.’

    Hoyeon Lee went inside, being wary of the surroundings.

    It was natural to feel awkward since there was no one on the path to the park that I had visited several times.

    “It’s normal for people to move around from here.”

    It was strange to enter the park without anyone in the first place.

    Because the boundaries of the Iris Guild are not this lax.

    ‘At this rate, it’s clear that something happened.’

    Slurp.

    Lee Ho-yeon unfolded the rune barrier and walked towards the tall black pillar.

    However, even after going deep into the depths, Iris guild members were nowhere to be seen, and rather a cold energy began to surround Lee Ho-yeon’s body.

    Excited.

    “There is something there.”

    As soon as you approach the black pillar a certain distance, a familiar sense of battle fills your body.

    Although it was not as strong a reaction as when encountering a strong enemy, it was clear that there was an enemy nearby just by the pounding of the heart.

    “The surrounding magic power is so dull. Is it a demon?”

    There was a barrier around the black pillar, and Lee Ho-yeon’s sensitive senses caught the subtle scent of the demon.

    ‘I came here to check the magic circle… ‘I don’t have any luck either.’

    It’s a demon attack.

    I don’t know why they were attacked, but it seemed like all the Iris guild members near the black pillar were attacked by a demon.

    The good news is that the feeling of heterogeneity is felt only around the black pillars.

    The black pillar and fake dungeon magic circle were installed quite far away so that the Iris guild members would not notice the work, so it seemed that the magic circle was not the target of the magicians.

    ‘The likelihood of being discovered in the first place is low… .’

    I was confident that I wouldn’t get caught because I had invested a lot in hiding, but there was one thing that happened.

    If I contact Irene right away and the fake dungeon magic circle is discovered, it would be the worst.

    ‘… What if my guild members are in danger if I don’t contact them right away?’

    I feel sorry, but due to the nature of the demons, it is unlikely that they were captured alive.

    Just in case, let’s just look at the movements of the demons as quickly as possible.

    Hoyeon Lee secretly approached the black pillar.

    “uh?”

    As Hoyeon Lee approached the black pillar across the park, the demons were encamped.

    However, there was one person who was different from what was expected, and as soon as Lee Ho-yeon realized his identity, he opened his eyes wide and hid himself.

    ‘Lucifer… ?’

    A black tuxedo and devil horns on top of his head.

    A coercion strong enough to suppress the magic flowing from the black pillar.

    Even though his back was turned, I could tell.

    That was Lucifer.

    ‘Why is Lucifer here?’

    Lee Ho-yeon concentrated his magic power on the rune barrier and stepped back as much as possible.

    Fortunately, even Lucifer did not notice the rune barrier that was fused with the magic power of hell.

    – yes… Where are you going now… .

    Although I couldn’t hear them clearly due to the distance, Mine and Lucifer were having a conversation.

    Lee Ho-yeon swallowed his saliva out of nervousness and carefully caught the tremors in the surrounding air.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s magical sensitivity is at the highest level in the world.

    Even if you are quite far away, you can read the subtle flow of sound.

    – Don’t ask unnecessary questions.

    – … Almost done. But humans… .

    ‘Opening eyes’

    Lucifer’s voice could be heard clearly, but Mine’s voice, who was distracted by Lucifer’s majesty, could not be heard properly.

    Lee Ho-yeon listened in on the conversation, even reading the shape of Mine’s mouth with his open eyes.

    -What is it?

    – We captured them all alive according to Lucifer’s orders… How can I do this?

    – There were no particularly interesting people. Do whatever you want.

    – All right… !

    Lee Ho-yeon frowned as he looked at Mine, who was smiling.

    ‘Captured alive?’

    The possibility of the demons capturing the Iris guild members alive was very low, but considering Lucifer’s personality, it is understandable.

    Lucifer is basically a perfect demon lord, but he has two weaknesses.

    His personality of wanting the destruction of the human world but trying to satisfy his own interests and his dependence on the magical eye.

    It is no exaggeration to say that all the conditions for the protagonist of the original work were created to deal with Lucifer, and of course Lee Ho-yeon also has the same conditions.

    ‘Maybe I won’t be seen in the devil’s eye this time either.’

    In Rebecca’s memory, Lucifer found Hoyeon Lee in addition to Liliana.

    The reason, of course, was because he became interested in himself.

    Whatever Lucifer does, he checks the risk with his magical eyes in advance.

    Since his magical eyes can see through all things in the world, it is not strange that he decides his course of action based on his magical eyes.

    However, Lucifer’s magical eye does not work on the main character, Lee Ho-yeon.

    It is natural for Lucifer, who relies on his magical eyes, to be interested as he meets someone he cannot relate to for the first time.

    In the original work, he uses that gap to attack Lucifer.

    ‘It would be better if the same thing happened here.’

    It’s just a shame that Lucifer isn’t the real devil.

    – I have to go now. Don’t leave it to me to clean up after you.

    – yes. Lucifer… !

    Hoyeon Lee focused on the conversation that was coming to an end and glared at Lucifer’s back.

    Slurp-

    After a moment, Lucifer’s body disappeared as if fluttering in the air.

    At the same time, the magic of hell that was weighing down the surroundings weakened.

    “…Where did it go?”

    As soon as Lee Ho-yeon saw Lucifer disappear, he sent an emergency contact signal to Irene with his smartwatch.

    If it’s an emergency signal, he’ll be able to determine his location, so he’ll come this way right away.

    All that’s left are those demons.

    “Do you think those bastards know?”

    Lucifer’s whereabouts and the disappeared Iris guild members.

    I feel sorry for the Iris guild members, but Hoyeon Lee needed to know Lucifer’s goal now.

    Lee Ho-yeon slowly approached the black pillar, paying attention to Lucifer’s magic power.

    *

    Kessus, a Pandemic executive who takes control of the black pillar in Victoria Park.

    As soon as Lucifer disappeared, he lifted his lower back and spoke to his subordinate.

    “I’m withdrawing now. Fuck… I’m going to search.”

    “Yep. I understand!”

    To Pandemic, Lucifer was nothing short of a nuisance.

    The good news is that those who lower their tails are less likely to be touched.

    In the end, it depends on Lucifer’s mood.

    The reason the Black Pillar was now taken over was because of Lucifer’s orders.

    “You don’t even tell me what you’re doing, you just force me to do it. You’re like a crazy bastard.”

    There is only one reason why Kessus can gossip like this.

    Lucifer unconditionally keeps his word.

    Once you say you’re going back, you never come back.

    “Tsk… I guess it’s a good thing that I can play with even humans.”

    He looked at the humans in the corner with his face crumpled.

    A group of humans whose entire bodies were restrained and their magic power sealed.

    Since you have given permission to Lucifer, you can now enjoy whatever you want.

    “… Lord Caesus.”

    “huh?”

    At that time, Mine, who was in front, called out to Kessus.

    Caesus, who was interrupted while enjoying his time, turned his head.

    Slurp-

    I watched as someone’s shape appeared in the air.

    “Spit, it’s an intruder!”

    “Intruder? There was no reaction to the barrier.”

    A strangely handsome human man who radiates strong magical power.

    Caesus figured out his opponent’s identity in an instant.

    “Hey, this is Lee Ho-yeon! Lord Kessus!”

    “… I know.”

    Lee Ho-yeon Wizard.

    He is high on the Victoria Academy’s list of things to watch out for and the number one target of the pandemic.

    He was a dangerous person to deal with as a single executive, but the situation was different now.

    To assist Lucifer, many A-level demons, including himself as an executive, were present.

    Moreover, Pandemic’s secret weapon that subdued the Iris Guild before Lucifer arrived.

    Magic nullification barrier.

    I calculated that if I fight now, I can win.

    After making a quick decision, Kessus raised his magic power.

    “Don’t be scared! If you have a magic nullification barrier, you can win. I will use this opportunity to help you succeed too!”

    “”yes!””

    The demons, who gained confidence from Kessus’s words, surrounded Lee Ho-yeon one by one.

    In fact, it was very easy to suppress the Iris Guild under the magic nullification barrier.

    It wouldn’t be difficult to catch Lee Ho-yeon.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who saw the demons surrounding her, felt her battle sense slowly rise.

    Excited. Excited.

    The demons’ expressions were rough, but Lee Ho-yeon’s heart was at peace.

    Falling in love –

    A heterogeneous energy spread around one of the demons surrounding Lee Ho-yeon.

    “Pfft… I can’t believe I have a chance to catch Lee Ho-yeon, the genius wizard who is number one to hunt.”

    Kessus glared at Lee Ho-yeon with a wicked smile.

    I felt my magic disappearing.

    This is the magic nullification barrier.

    Even though Majin cannot use magical power, he has monstrous physical abilities.

    But Lee Ho-yeon is an ordinary human being.

    There is no way it can handle dozens of demons.

    The situation was so perfect.

    The moment you deploy a magic blocking barrier against a wizard, victory is a given.

    “….”

    Hoyeon Lee clenched and unclenched her fists with frowning eyes.

    Magic nullification barrier.

    It’s a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.

    A magic nullification barrier used by Shin Dong-min, Moon Su-rin’s stalker.

    At that time, the memory of being beaten to pieces and being saved by Moon Su-rin just before death was still vivid.

    “The genius wizard’s magic is over… Human, what are you going to do?”

    “This too is a memory.”

    Crackling. Support position.

    An awkward feeling of not being able to gain magical energy.

    I don’t know how much effort I put into overcoming this.

    I trained in close combat with Scarlett, and I was thinking about further refining my magic.

    There was no need for that now.

    The magic blocking barrier was ultimately created based on humans.

    The current Lee Ho-yeon had a completely different magical power.

    “Stop watching and kill me!”

    The demons, led by the executive Kessus, approached Lee Ho-yeon.

    A movement that never thought they would lose.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who was watching this, smiled and lightly stepped on the ground.

    Wood clatter.

    “Ugh?!”

    As soon as Lee Ho-yeon touched the ground, the pitch-black magic of hell rose up.

    The magic power of hell that lightly pushed away the magic blocking barrier created a devil’s palace, and the magic power rising from the floor began to surround the legs of the magicians.

    “W-That’s ridiculous… The test for the magic resistance barrier should have already been completed…!”

    Caesus’ eyes widened.

    The test was perfect, and it was concluded that it was impossible for humans to break through this barrier. Why does this happen?

    For the life of him, Caesus could not understand the situation in which magical power similar to Lucifer was flowing from Hoyeon Lee in front of him.

    “I know the topic, kid.”

    Hoyeon Lee felt a refreshing feeling for the first time in a long time.

    Lee Ho-yeon a few months ago might have been blocked by this barrier, but it was not too much of a stretch for Lee Ho-yeon, who had mastered the magic of hell.

    “I don’t have much time. Irene will be here soon.”

    Hoyeon Lee walked towards Kessus and filled his fist with magic power.

    We need to get all the information we need before Irene comes.
